I've been using ROHO cushions since my injury. I have the Quatro model now. You should always have your caregivers push on your cushion before you get in it just to make it hasn't sprung a leak. It does require putting air in it occasionally. Most people make the mistake of over-inflating it because they're worried about bottoming out. So far I haven't had any sores
